CPI Card Group Inc., a provider of financial card production and related services, will integrate with Salt Lake City-based core processor Flex to enable a streamlined approach to instant issuance, according to a press release.
The Card at Once solution from CPI will be integrated with the Flex data processing platform, allowing credit unions to produce EMV-enabled cards on-site for members.
Credit unions served by Flex will be able to leverage a cost-effective end-to-end print solution that enables an immediate response to members who require new or replacement cards, the release said.
"Our aim has always been to empower our customers with options, helping them navigate and adopt new technologies using our robust set of offerings — so they manufacture their own success," Flex Chief Operating Officer Sean Holcomb said in the release. "The convenience and ease of use of Card at Once makes it a natural fit within the greater value we are creating for credit unions."
"It's so much easier and faster than it used to be," said Christine Fowler, member service manager at Parks Heritage FCU. "We used to go to five different places to make a card, but now it's just one click and you're done … our members get a new card in five minutes."
